Pour the Simple Syrup over the top of the plums, seal and place bag in the refrigerator over night or for at least a couple of hours.

Next Day (or later in the day) using a large vessel, such as an Extra Large Mason Jar,...add the soaked Plums. Then pour the Vodka & Brandy on top of the fruit.

Add the extra fine sugar.

Tighten the lid to the jar and shake gently. Place in a cool dark area such as a shelf or counter top for up to 30 days! *I prefer to keep mine in the refrigerator, but that is just my preference.

During the infusion time, gently shake the jar every 1 - 2 days. Taste every so often, so you may decide how long you want to retain the fruit.

When the infusion has reached your desired taste, drain the liqueur into another vessel. Place the fruit onto cheese cloth, draped over a sieve. Place the sieve over a bowl or pitcher to catch excess liquid. Press the fruit, wrapped in cheese cloth, into the sieve and squeeze the remaining juice/liquid out of the plums. Repeat until all of the plums are pressed. Throw away the spent fruit. Using a smaller sieve/filter pour the squeezed fruit juice into the rest of the Plum Liqueur.

The Liqueur is now ready for use.

Store the Plum Liqueur in the refrigerator, until needed.

I use this Liqueur for cooking & baking, grilling sauces, cocktails or as gifts at the Holidays.

Easy to make! And adds a wonderful flavor to your recipes.Infused with Style...Bonus Recipes:::

1 Large package of Vanilla Pudding, instant mix

1/2 cup of pureed infused plums, pit & pureed

2 1/2 cups of milk

Using a spatula, spread the Sour Cream mixture evenly over the top of the chili & cheese mixture. Method:* Like you would frost the top of a cake

Bake in the preheated Oven for 30-35 minutes. Check the topping as it turns golden. Cover with foil if need be. The top will puff and rise slightly as it cooks. Cool for 10 minutes or so before serving. We spooned out our portions.

Serve with a dollop of Sour Cream on top & dust with Cumin (see photo above)

Notes: -If needed, stir in more flour as needed, *I sift mine into the pand to prevent lumpsI have also used store bought country gravy packets in replacement of the flour measurement. this works well. (There are times I don't have flour or I dont want to carry extra flour to the summer ranch...The gravy packets are the perfect answer!)-Mixing the flour, seasonings & whipping cream together before pouring into the sauce pan keeps your gravy lump free. The whipping cream does two things, it thickens faster and the results are creamy. I use Whipping Cream because it has a longer (self/fridge) life than milk, works well when you live in the country...-You may replace sausage for the bacon...I would use about a half of a pound or so...Cook the meat separate from the gravy and drain grease well. Stir in after gravy has thickened.-And lastly... You may want to add a 3/4 cup of onions, sautéed or not, depending on taste.Too make life easy and serve breakfast quicker, use canned biscuits. I do this if I am cooking for a large crowd. I like the Buttermilk Grands or the HomeStyle biscuits.But...My fave is to make Cowboy Toast! Buttered & Grilled Sourdough bread on a griddle...Mmmm good! Bring on the Gravy!
